Presidents Day

An Opportunity for Reflection

Then U.S. President Barack Obama (second from left), with former Presidents George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Jimmy Carter at the White House in 2009.

Presidents Day offers all Americans an opportunity to reflect on previous presidents—both on their contributions to the country and on the challenges and controversies faced by their administrations. We hope these lessons will prove useful in this endeavor.
